Senatorial Challenges: Biya Succumbs to SDF Menace

By FC Junior

Fru-Biya

SDF National Chairman Ni John Fru Ndi is expected to meet
President Biya before weekend in what has been described as a panacea for the
looming political deadlock in Cameroon. According to classified sources Chairman
Ni John Fru Ndi was spotted today March 5, 2013 in Yaounde. A hint which
indicates that at last Popoul has finally succumbed to the proposed dialogue by
John Ntarinkon.

The Popoul-John Ntarikon encounter it should be recalled has
been provoked by the fact that the SDF earlier declared that if Biya doesn’t
sit and discuss with its chieftain on modalities of participation in the upcoming
senatorial elections, chaos will be inevitable. As usual, the unpredictable
Paul Biya summoned the Electoral College yet the heat from the SDF was too much
to the Biya regime to resist.

However, the National Executive Council of the SDF on
February 16, 2013 wrote to Biya, Elections Cameroon threatening to boycott
senatorial elections. Worried about field reports, SDF wrote to Elections
Cameroon and the German Company that manufactured the kits emphasizing that the
so-called recompilation of voters’ registers using the biometric system is a
sham. A similar letter our source hinted was addressed to President Biya asking
him (Biya) to publish the electoral calendar stressing that “the SDF wants
municipal and legislative elections to hold before senatorial elections”. The
SDF argued that the mandate of the present councilors had expired and so they
are enjoying bonus times. While wrapping his sensitization tour of the country
at the Bamenda Municipal stadium which it is alleged Biya disbursed 750 million
to SDF National chairman to mobilize Cameroonians to register massively, SDF
chieftain said “no election will take place in Cameroon this year if he does
not sit and talk with Biya on the acceptable modalities”. I should be noted
that SDF chairman started by hammering on ELECAM and the biometric registration
but so suddenly he swallowed his own words. This is so because rumours as
hinted were rife that Fru Ndi had a secret meeting with Biya before the later
left for France. Political analysts have been wondering the modalities Fru Ndi
is talking about or elections are pre-arranged? To cut the story short, Ni John
Fru Ndi told SDF militants that if he does not meet Biya personally, no
elections will take place in Cameroon. This is so because President Biya’s ear
listens only to one sound, threats and menaces, an authoritative voice hinted.

According
information filtering into our office, the Biya regime has already settled on a
one point agenda discussion with Fru Ndi. It is alleged that
to comfort the SDF, Biya consulted Elecam officials and instructed that the
only viable list from the North West should be that of the SDF. But if it were
to happen then Ni John Fru Ndi who declared his candidature for the senate will
emerge senator. Sources hinted that CPDM list from the Northwest Region risk
being disqualified.
